PROBLEMS

The following Stockton Area facilities are projected to be overloaded under normal conditions within the 2001-2005 study period: (1) Lockeford 230/60kV transformer bank; and (2) Tesla 500/230kV transformer bank #2. For year 2005, the projected overload is 15% for Lockeford and 17% for Tesla. Prolonged overloading could lead to low voltage conditions in the 60kV system and possible load dropping.

The most limiting contingency for this area is the outage of a Tesla 500/230kV transformer.
